How to Unlock Demeniss Map

Check Mark Details Map Location
Toll of Demeniss
This bell can be found in the capital of Demeniss. Climb the tallest clocktower in the city, then hang on the flag to reveal the bell. Ringing the bell will uncover the fog that covers the map.
Toll of Demeniss
Toll of Demeniss Map Location

The most efficient way to remove the fog off the map is to ring the bells in each region. Demeniss' bell is located in its capital city. The guards in the area will be hostile towards you when you enter through the gates. We recommend going in stealthily through the ramparts.

Why is Demeniss Hostile?

Story-Locked Hostility

Demeniss will remain hostile up until the end of Chapter 7. Once you begin Chapter 8, the story will bring you to the kingdom of Demeniss and you will be able to go into the kingdom without a worry.

Spires

Check Mark Details
Jijeong Temple Pagoda
A tower situated atop the Morning Mist Peaks. While the structure itself is not particularly tall compared to others, it possesses a presence that remains unrivaled. Its mysterious and alien construction evokes a sense of stability and comfort, yet commands a profound feeling of reverence.
Spire of Soaring
A tower rising from the Byron Estate. From its summit, one can see the Byron Estate, northern Demeniss, the Musket Military Base, and the Crimson Desert. It is said that in ages past, someone sought enlightenment by climbing and descending this spire.
Spire of Frost
A spire located within the Eye of Ice. While the Eye of Ice itself is profoundly alien, this tower-radiating a piercing, frigid aura-only heightens the sense of displacement. It is said that no soul ever treads upon the spiral stairs that wind toward the summit, both inside and out.
Spire of Clockwork
A tower atop Breezeblown Knoll. From here, one can behold the Elemore Estate, the Musket Military Base, the Crimson Desert, and the Republic of Delesyia. In ancient times, someone built this spire to take in the beauty of the land at a single glance.

Sanctums

Check Mark Details
Sanctum of Expiation
A place said to be imbued with spiritual power. It is known to have been created by someone in the past to restore the world and its providence, yet its power is so great that Antumbra revere it as sacred ground. The First Edict declares: "Let those who deny that Liberation is attained through suffering atone for the weakness of their faith."
Sanctum of Revelation
A place said to be imbued with spiritual power. It is known to have been created by someone in the past to restore the world and its providence, yet its power is so great that Antumbra revere it as sacred ground. The Eleventh Edict declares: "Become one with the darkness, and the One shall reveal themselves."
Sanctum of Mortification
A place said to be imbued with spiritual power. It is known to have been created by someone in the past to restore the world and its providence, yet its power is so great that Antumbra revere it as sacred ground. The Thirteenth Edict declares: "Only through flesh-searing pain and bodily punishment may the soul be reborn."

Demeniss Factions

Core Factions

Faction Details
#{title Crest House Azerian The count's house of Demeniss. A distinguished noble house that represents the Kingdom of Demeniss, they have always devoted themselves to the kingdom's people. When Caliburn and Bastier began gathering power through unjust means, the house opposed them both in secret and in the open, leading the fight for Demeniss's future.
#{title Crest House Byron The count's house of Demeniss. Their influence extends as far as Pailune, and they are said to have every bit of news beyond Demeniss in the palm of their hand. Bastier even calls their intelligence network the "Eyes of Demeniss." Rumors persist that this same network ile funnels vast sums of money out of Demeniss, though the purpose remains unclear.
#{title Crest House Marshell The count's house of Demeniss. They are known as Grand General Bastier's most active patron, infamous enough to be called his "Black Strongbox." Their influence in domestic affairs runs deep, and they miss nothing, from court intrigues to minor border incidents, as they reach into politics across the entire kingdom.
#{title Crest House Wells The ducal house that governs southern Demeniss. A house that swears loyalty to the Royal House Thorel, they openly oppose Caliburn and Bastier, who seized Demeniss by force. They possess both the power and the cause to ignite a civil war at any moment, so Bastier pressured Wells by every means available, even resorting to the most underhanded tactics.

Other Factions

Faction Details
#{title Crest House Elemore The count's house of Demeniss. They have accumulated immense wealth over many long years and have long wielded major influence in Demeniss high society. They have maintained a long-standing friendship with House Azerian, so they naturally keep their distance from Caliburn, who stands in opposition to Azerian, and many view this with concern.
#{title Crest House Thorel The ruling family of the Kingdom of Demeniss. After the current king, Edward Thorel, fell unconscious, the heirless House Thorel has been helplessly losing real power to various factions. Each morning, the king's servants announce that he is still alive, but their words do nothing to calm the bloodwind sweeping through Demeniss.
#{title Crest Silvermoon Trade Collective A merchant collective active throughout Demeniss. They rival the Goldleaf Merchant Guild in both scale and wealth, yet unlike that purely profit-driven faction, the Silvermoon Trade Collective values trust and relationships above all. The leader is known as the "merchant lord."
#{title Crest Tariv Sorcerers The sorcerers' gathering of Tariv. They take in even those burdened with unwanted magical talent, guiding them to avoid the darkness and wield their power rightly. The villagers revere the great Guardian Tree, and when children come of age, they swear before it to protect their home.

Hostile Factions

Faction Details
#{title Crest Bastier’s Inquisitors Also known as the Righteous Inquisitors. The Righteous Tribunal was originally an inspection body meant to prevent corruption within the kingdom, but it has now degenerated into a faction loyal to Bastier. If Chelcia, who founded the Tribunal, could see what it has become today, she would have condemned them as evil for wielding power and persecuting the people.
